Living plant roofs and green oases of well-being, underground water reservoirs and biotopes in the neighbourhood: the "Oldenburg Climate Tour" shows how climate change is also changing the city, including in the university's Botanical Garden.
What do urban woodlands and tree populations mean for our local recreation in times of climate change? How can we contribute to biodiversity in the city? And how important are and will green roofs and façades be in adapting buildings to the changing climate? Answers to these and other questions are provided by the climate tour, which the Botanical Garden has designed together with partners.
The stops on the tour are summarised online and in a printed brochure and are freely available. The "Climate Tour Oldenburg" leads to various climate adaptation locations in the city and provides information about the associated strategies. Climate adaptation is about how people, municipalities and companies actively adapt to the changed environmental and living conditions caused by climate change. For example, urban planning must also take into account the expected climate development over the coming decades.
The adaptation strategies in the city highlighted by the climate tour are partly obvious, partly invisible or already appear to be a matter of course. The tour includes the following six stations, which provide information and invite you to join in: EWE's climate data garden, youth climate activism at the youth environmental network JANUN e.V., building greening in the university's Botanical Garden, the "KlimaOasen" project and cool feel-good places in Eversten Holz, biodiverse flowering meadows at ImmerBunt and rainwater solutions from the Oldenburgisch-Ostfriesischer Wasserverband OOWV.
